The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence filed its Fiscal Year 1998 Intelligence Authorization Act with the House on 18 June 1997. The five major themes addressed in the bill are: (1) Focus on shortfalls in intelligence; (2) heightened emphasis on "downstream" activities; (3) ensure clandestine HUMINT programs are equipped to fill intelligence gaps; (4) promote flexibility in the use of technology to meet intelligence needs; and (5) develop a more corporate and flexible community.
Other provisions include "a request for a report from the DCI to ensure that important resource allocation decisions within the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) re-engineering plan are not being made without fully taking into account 'customer' requirements."

Excerpts from the Executive Summary of Report of Joint Security Commission, submitted 28 February 1994 to Secretary of Defense Perry and DCI Woolsey. The report identifies a need to "balance the risk of loss or damage against the costs of countermeasures...," that is, to use a risk management approach. It recommends the "creation of a uniform cost-accounting methodology and tracking system for security resources expended..., common standards for adjudications [in personnel security] and a joint investigative service to standardize background investigations..., [and] formation of a single organization ... responsible for the creation of security policies and overseeing the coherent implementation of those policies across the Defense and Intelligence Communities."

This article is heavy on organizational detail and light on supporting examples for field activities. Nonetheless, it succeeds in giving a taste of how military CI and HUMINT activities are proceeding in the field in contingency operations. The author stresses the increasing importance to commanders of hand-held digital imagery, but notes that "database storage and retrieval of this information is still an unfulfillable requirement."

The author compares NSC-68 (April 1950) with JIC (51) 6 (January 1951). The American and British utilized "dissimilar assumptions and interpretive approaches" in their intelligence assessments of the Soviet Union. It was on the "subjective questions -- the 'mysteries' -- that US and UK analysts disagreed throughout the early years of the Cold War, America's view of Communist doctrine leading them to ascribe aggressive intentions to the USSR long before Britain was prepared to do so."

Peter. "The Spy Who's Been Left In the Cold." Washington Post
Magazine, 5 Jul. 1998, W9 ff. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
This article is more balanced than the Pollard-as-victim claptrap that has appeared much too frequently in recent years. The author takes the time to state clearly the position of the opposition to Pollard's release: "Key officials in the Defense and Justice departments and various intelligence agencies today remain as opposed to Jonathan Pollard's release as they were on March 4, 1987, when a federal judge sentenced him to life imprisonment for espionage.... These officials still consider Pollard a dangerous traitor whose release would send a terrible message that it's okay to spy for a friendly nation or to help an ethnic or religious homeland. And they portray Pollard as an arrogant, greedy and sometimes delusional young man who sold out his country for $50,000 in cash, jewelry and lavish trips abroad."

At such meetings, "[t]he secretaries of state and defense debate the most urgent foreign policy decisions..., though they are not attended by the president."
